About StarNet

StarNet Communications has been a leading developer of X Windows solutions since 1989. After establishing X-Win32 as the de facto standard in the higher education market during the early to mid-1990s -- 150 unlimited Campus Site Licenses worldwide -- X-Win32 has become of one the top three PC X servers in the government and commercial sectors as well.

Unlike its major rivals, Exceed (Hummingbird) and Reflection-X (WRQ/Attachmate), X-Win32 offers a highly focused PC X server that offers superior performance and productivity features, stability, ease of use and low cost (40% or better in most cases).

StarNet also delivers unequaled customer support. Our state-of-the-art engineering infrastructure allows us to fix problems and make a new release available quickly (overnight in many cases). As our testimonials page shows, StarNet customers consistently rate their X-Win32 experience as the best in the industry.
